The FBI is treating the incident in Colorado as a terrorist attack
An unidentified man has been detained in Boulder, Colorado, after throwing Molotov cocktails at attendees of a demonstration held in support of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Videos from the scene show a shirtless man carrying what appear to be bottles of flammable liquid while shouting pro-Palestinian slogans. He is later seen lying on the ground as police move in to detain him.
“We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available,” FBI Director Kash Patel said on X.
Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said officers responded to a report of a suspect “setting people on fire.” He confirmed that several people had been hospitalized, with injuries ranging “from very serious to more minor.”
